Planning a trip from the Tendring coast? We are 25 minutes from Clacton, with every travel vaccine in stock and appointments most days of the week.
We stock the full range and we only recommend what your trip actually calls for.
Some countries require it for entry. As a NaTHNaC-approved yellow fever centre, we administer the vaccine and issue your certificate the same day, valid for life in most cases.
Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water. If you are heading to Asia, Africa, or South America, it is usually on the list.
Hepatitis B spreads through blood and bodily fluids. Most people do not plan to need medical treatment abroad, but accidents happen. Worth considering for longer stays or anywhere healthcare standards are variable.
Linked to poor sanitation and unsafe food. High risk across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of Latin America, often paired with Hepatitis A.
Mosquito-borne and found in rural Asia. Whether you need it depends on exactly where you are going, what time of year, and what you plan to do when you get there.
Required for Hajj and Umrah. Also recommended for travel across Sub-Saharan Africa and for students heading into shared university accommodation.
A mosquito-borne illness spreading into new regions. Two vaccines are now available, which one is right depends on your age and health history, confirmed at appointment.
Recommended for unvaccinated adults or anyone who has not completed a two-dose course. Some patients may be eligible on the NHS, worth checking before booking privately.
A booster is recommended if your last dose was more than 10 years ago. If you were vaccinated within the last five years, you are not currently eligible, your pharmacist will confirm at appointment.
Not every risk is covered by a jab. These are the travel medications we supply following a pharmacist assessment.
Malaria is preventable, but the right tablet depends on where you are going, not just the country name. Options include Atovaquone/Proguanil, Doxycycline, and Mefloquine. Your pharmacist confirms the right fit for your route.
We recommend this for anyone heading to high-altitude destinations, Peru, Nepal, Tanzania, Ladakh. Above 2,500 metres, altitude sickness can hit regardless of fitness level. Supplied following assessment for eligible adults aged 18 and over.

Safe, well-established, and used by thousands of women every year, for holidays, pilgrimages, weddings, and anything else where timing matters. One short private appointment and it is sorted.
Private booster for adults, pregnant women, and anyone with a new baby arriving in the household. If someone close to you is too young to be vaccinated yet, this is how you protect them.
Standby antibiotic treatment for high-risk destinations. You only use it if you need it, but having a clear written plan and the right medication in your bag can make a serious difference when you are hours from medical care.
You are probably not as late as you think. Contact us and we will tell you straight what is still possible.
Most single-dose vaccines, like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Meningitis ACWY, provide real protection even if given close to departure. You can start longer courses such as rabies and hepatitis B before you leave and complete them when you get back.
